    I did Turbo Jam, wayyyyyy back in the day! I am currently on my 4th week of Turbo Fire, and I LOVE it!!! I've been wondering if people like Chalene Extreme as much as the Turbo workout?

    yay!! these responses make me so happy!!! :)

    turbo jam and turbo fire are FANTASTIC cardio workouts, and both come with their own strength workouts too - but CLX (chalene extreme) is a more intensive strength training program, so i feel like doing CLX on my strength days, and Turbo FIre on my cardio days gives me the best possible combination! i don't like the cardio workouts that come with CLX very much (burn intervals, burn it off, etc) - they just aren't my style and are very different from the Turbo style, so i make my own schedule and kick my own butt ;)

    for those of you JUST starting out with these workouts PLEASE come here to talk about it!!! i want to hear how you are doing! :) i would have LOVED to have others doing the same workouts as me when i started (somehow i thought i was the only one in the world doing Turbo Jam when i first started haha) but when i first started my "weight loss journey" in january of 2009 - i used the biggest loser online program and literally convinced like 15 people to get Turbo Jam because i raved about it SO much... ive never heard of a single person being disappointed ;)

    today i did one of my FAVORITE TF workouts - Fire 45 EZ... i pushed myself super hard and the music just makes me ready to tackle the DAY! woot! :)

    ...which i must go do now! keep them coming MFPs - i love you all already (friend me if you'd like!)

    I love Turbo! I also did TurboJam back in the day, and thought it was so much fun!! I did CLX this past fall and woo, I gained so much muscle tone and strength! I had lifted weights before, but had never gotten results like I did with CLX. I didn't hear about TurboFire until a few months ago, and I just got it on Thursday!! I started last Friday and it's definitely my favorite program out of the three so far. After finishing Fire 55 EZ yesterday, I could barely move haha! I also got the advanced DVDs, and am going to attempt to do the 5-month program. I'm getting married next April, so I will also definitely be doing the CLX/TurboFire hybrid before then to whip me into even better shape!! Let me know how you like the hybrid!

    I have done a couple of turbofire workouts. Yesterday, I did a 20 mins one don't ask me what it is though. I just joined my friend who is doing the 5 month program to keep her company. But I started my chalean Extreme Workout today, I'm combining it with a half marathon training. I've been thinking about Turbo Jam but not sure. I finished 1 round of P90x first week of April.

    I started with Turbo Jam, then did Chalean Extreme and now I am on week 7 of Turbo Fire. I absolutely love these videos and Chalean Johnson. I also just ordered the Chalean upgrade package and next month I will get the advanced DVDs of Turbo Fire! When I am done with Turbo Fire I am going to do the hybrid! I can't wait. These are the only DVD's that I have found that keeps me motivated!

    I feel like I've been doing Turbo Jam off and on FOREVER! It's definitely my go to! I just started doing it again this week, but I'm combining it with JM 30DS. I'm saving up to get Turbo Fire. I can't wait to try that one. I just heard about it like two weeks ago. Can't believe I almost missed out. Haha.

    I am with you! I love it! I combined it with my Zumba and running and have lost about 4-5lbs in 5 weeks. I also have been eating a lot less sugar.
    Turbo Fire is so motivating. And it is fun!:wink:

    I love how Chalean makes you feel like you could be a boyfriend stealer (not that I would ever do that!) It's still motivating but entertaining. Love that song.

    How funny! Did the 45 EZ over the weekend. Love it. I went to Zumba Monday night and was not even out of breath. I think Turbo Jam helps big time. I love the Burpees and the jumps.

    I'm in LOVE with TurboFire!

    I think doing Chalene's programs will soon turn me into a cardio junkie. :) Turbo Jam and TurboFire really appealed to me, as I'm quite the martial arts fanatic. I have a muay thai kickboxing background and hope to begin studying capoeira in 2012.

    Favs: Fire 55 EZ, Fire 45, HIIT 20...and I always do Stretch 10 after every workout. I feel completely exhausted after the longer workouts which tells me what? It's WORKING!! :o)

    "Guess What? You're not tired!!"

    omg i love how many people are writing in! so much to respond to!! i love the martial arts aspects too, thats why Punch, Kick, & Jam was always (and still is) my favorite Turbo Jam workout! even though im doing Turbo Fire now, i still rock out to that workout now and again, there's just nothing like it! i also love to do the 20-minute Turbo after some CLX! so much FUN!!!

    i literally NEVER would have guessed working out could be this much fun! it actually makes me laugh how much i enjoy getting SUPER insanely sweaty dancing around like a fool ;) man oh man, chalene has changed my life!

    so happy to hear how so many of you are doing these programs!!! we can totally keep each other motivated :)

    BOOM i got your boyfriend, i got your man... NEVER gets old ;)

    I loveloveLOVE Chalean Extreme. I really enjoy lifting and I love her approach, her easy manner, the way she motivates, and the fact that she is so very into good form. I also don't love the cardio that comes with the workout, but I still do it. I've looked into Turbo Fire but don't have the money for them at the moment, so we'll see :D

    I borrowed a friend's Turbo Jam a while back and wasn't impressed. I once heard someone nickname it "air humping with Chalene Johnson" and that's exactly what it felt like to me :P

    I am on my 2nd week of my 2nd round of Turbo Fire and still LOVE It.I love the music and all the motivation talk that Chalene gives you.I think that Fire 60 is my FAV!! I burn SOOOOO many calories and have a blast! I think I will be doing TF for a very long time.I love that I am dripping with sweat at the end of every class,I have so much energy and feel great! On my days off I do a HIIT, or Fire 45 or 30,i just can't stay away.I have a HRM and love to push myself to see if I can get a higher calorie burn.TURBO FIRE ROCKS!!!!
